Superior performance coupled with elegant style—that’s the mantra of the Mercedes-Benz AMG Black Series line of cars. These are road-legal vehicles that push the envelope in terms of performance, and that is shown in this featured video from the show Car and Driver: Tested, which pits the Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series from 2007 against its more contemporary successor, the 2012 C63 AMG Black Series Coupe.

What difference does being 5 years apart make? That’s exactly what the reviewer discusses in the video, taking both models for a spin on the track and pushing to see how both perform. Watch the video to see the full show for yourself.

While it might be unlikely for normal people like ourselves to also have the chance to drive both vehicles, it still warrants this question: which one would you rather have? Which one do you think is better? Feel free to discuss in the comments!
